AN: Wow, a fast update! Amazing right? I hope you guys like it!


The team were finishing up and heading back to headquarters as Gibbs' phone rang. He looked at the caller id and noticed it was his wife calling.

"Jen?" Gibbs answered.

"Jethro, you need to get to the school! Abby and I are headed there now. Rachel has had an episode and no one is able to bring her from it. They've tried everything, but nothing has worked," Jenny said in an almost hysterical tone.

"I'll be there soon. Take a deep breath honey and please tell me that Abby is driving," Gibbs replied.

"She is. Hurry please," Jenny said and disconnected. Gibbs stuck his phone back into his pocket and made a sharp u-turn and headed to his daughters' school. Little did he know, but he did suspect, his team followed him in the truck.


Jenny and Abby arrived at the school just as Gibbs pulled into the parking lot with the others right behind him in the truck. Jenny was worried for her girls too much to make a scene about the truck.

Gibbs walked up to Jenny and slipped his arm around her waist as they both rushed into the building with their other children close behind them.

Mrs. Reid met them in the front and led them to where Rachel had stuck herself and had not budged. When they walked into the art room, the only people there were the music teacher, the school nurse, and Nikki.

Upon seeing her parents, Nikki leapt to them with tears running down her cheeks. She rubbed her face into her mother's stomach and just sobbed.

"I tried to get her back Mommy, but she ain't listenin'!" Nikki sobbed, her voice muffled by her mother's shirt. Jenny was almost in tears herself and she ran her hands over her daughter's head and across her shoulders.

"Baby, it's okay. You tried and that's all that matters. Daddy and I are here now and we'll get her back. Go to your brothers and sisters. They're in the hallway," Jenny told her daughter.

Nikki nodded and ran out of the room and right into Ziva's arms. Ziva pulled Nikki tightly to her and Nikki buried her head into Ziva's shoulder and sobbed.

Back in the room, Jenny walked over to where Rachel was huddled in the corner crying, shaking, and rocking as her flashback was still right before her eyes.


She heard her sister faintly calling to her and Rachel had looked into her arms to see Nikki gone and she had tried to look for her, but she was nowhere to be seen. Rachel had searched and searched, but she couldn't find Nikki no matter what she did. She gave up and collapsed onto the floor.

She heard other voices that sounded like her teachers, but she didn't trust them. She thought it was the bad people playing mean tricks on her and she cried as she pulled her knees to her chest and began to rock.

She felt something being pushed into her arms and she looked to see what it was, but all she saw was nothing. She cried harder and rocked faster as she heard the voices again and again calling to her. She could identify her sister's and Mrs. Reid's voices, but the others were strange.

After that there was silence. It was quiet except for her sobbing and the noise that rose from the floor as she rocked. She felt so alone and wished she was home. She kept rocking.

That was when she heard those heels clicking rapidly up the hallway. Those were her mother's shoes. She heard murmured voices and her sister's crying voice. She heard her mother's heels come closer and closer. She heard someone kneel next to her and she thought that she was back at the cabin with the woman who had her and Nikki kidnapped. She pushed further back and the voice that came wasn't the woman's that she was expecting, but her mother's voice, calm and soothing.

"Rachel, baby, Mommy's right here. You're safe. Daddy, Ziva, Tony, Abby, and Tim saved you from those bad people. You're at school right now, but you are safe. Mrs. Reid has promised not to let anything hurt you. You're okay," Jenny murmured softly.

Rachel saw herself and Nikki being rescued again and that was the vision that brought her out of the flashback. Once she focused and saw where she was and she saw her mother, her rocking stopped and she leapt into her mother's arms crying more now.

Jenny wrapped her arms around her little girl and held her tightly. Rachel just sobbed and sobbed.

Jenny looked to everyone else who was watching them and they walked out of the room, all except for Gibbs who made his way over to his girls slowly as to not frighten Rachel. Rachel flinched a little and then saw who it was and held her arms out for her father to take her. He pulled her into his arms and she snuggled down into them and fell asleep.

Jenny stood and faced her husband and their daughter. She didn't have to say anything because he already knew what she was thinking and he nodded. They turned and walked out of the room to take their girls home, promising their teachers that they will try again tomorrow. The teachers didn't dispute this and let the family go with the girls' assignments for the day.


They met up with the others outside of the school. Nikki was still being held by Ziva and Abby was standing next to them rubbing Nikki's back. Tony and McGee looked up as their 'parents' came out with their sister.

"Boss, what we do now?" Tony asked.

"Well, DiNozzo, Jenny and I are going to take the girls home. You all are going to go back to NCIS and work the case and I will join you as soon as I can," Gibbs said.

"But Gibbs, we wanna help!" Abby said.

"I know Abs, but we need to solve this case and the girls need rest," Gibbs told her.

"They can stay in the lab with me. I have mats that they can use and everything and I won't be distracted or anything," Abby said giving him her best 'puppy dog' eyes. Gibbs sighed and Jenny knew he was caving under her look.

"Abby," Jenny said sternly. Abby's gaze flickered to Jenny.

"Please?" she said in a voice that was so small. Jenny looked to her husband and they both knew that this argument was not going in their favor.

"Okay, but if you slack off on your work, they go home, got it?" Gibbs asked.

"Got it!" Abby said with the biggest smile she could muster.

They all got into their respective cars and headed back to NCIS.
